Hi everyone! Hope all is well. Spring weather is starting to come in for Australia and so it's easier to move about and get out of bed without the dread. Though it's not cold compared to other countries it still take s a while to get the blood flowing...
Anyways, This is a recent editorial I had the opportunity to do for Sydney's Child. The story is about the relationship between Grand parent and grandchild wen distance come in between. I was able to relate very much to this story as I have always lived very far away from my grandparents.

Sarah Vain and Tall

I had the opportunity to be apart of this project, an up and coming brand dedicated to tall women and girls. I designed the logo and identity for Sarah Vain and Tall with designer and director of Sarah Vain and Tall, Anne Shea.

This is the logo,identity/brand for Sarah Vain and Tall.


Here is a one half of the branding/identity image of Sarah vain and tall which is taking a simple approach. When having to make avatars and identities for online communities and portfolios it was important to get the Sarah Vain and tall image out and easy to recognize and scalable, and so the simple approach came about.


This is with the logo. Currently used for the Sarah Vain and Tall Facebook Avatar.
